The first summer family gathering event after COVID!
Cornellians and their family and friends enjoyed bowling together in the air-conditioned bowling arena of the Prince Hotel next to Tokyo Tower, while it was a steamy 35°C outside. It was the first family gathering event post COVID so Cornellians were very excited to meet fellow alum and their families after 4 years! Cornell souvenirs were given to every attendees (in the order of lowest- to highest-scoring lol) and everyone delightfully accepted the little surprise.

On March 23rd, over 75 alumni from over half-a-dozen Ivy League and other international college alumni gathered together in Toranomon, Tokyo, for an informal, casual networking event at the CIC / Venture Cafe HQ in the Toranomon Mori Business Tower.
About 25 alumni and current students gathered together for a fun, casual evening at the Hobgoblin Roppongi, located in Tokyo, Japan, this past Thursday, July 14th. This was our first in-person Happy Hour in about 2 years, since Covid-19 prevented such in-person events. It was such a pleasant evening connecting with both old and new alumni friends. Please stay tuned as we hope to once again hold regular monthly Happy Hours.
